Riding on an empty stomach

If your blood leaves your stomach to service the muscles why does that
matter? Get your electrolytes and H2O and your body will be happy. You may
be burning fuel you never burned before too. If you get overheated though
it compounds the heart's work so do everything safely in moderation. If I
eat an apple before I go I am not hungry for an hour cause my stomach does
not get a chance to complain. Your stomach does not get enough blood to do
any digesting.

I don't know why it happens. I am no doctor. Maybe it has something to
do with your stomach acids sloshing around with nothing in it. But like
I said I turned up the intensity, I can ride on an empty stomach at a
lower pace for much longer, 30 plus miles.

I've felt something like this first thing in the morning (doesn't
happen later in the day, in my case). It just feels like nausea. A
glass of orange juice works fine for me; my daughter felt the same
thing one morning, and half a yuppie candy bar (aka energy bar) let
her finish the ride.

Yeah, personally think it has to do something with stomach acids,
perhaps something in there to absorb or dilute them, doesn't have to be
much, just a little something.

Like they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why not
eat something first, or even your whole breakfast? If I try to ride on
an empty stomach I get a kind of mini-bonk after about 12-15 miles then
come home and eat more than usual. These morning rides are usually at a
somewhat leisurely 12-15 MPH just to kick start the metabolism.
Conclusion: Everybody is different.

Well I guess everyone reacts different, I don't do it like that very
often, as far as riding on an empty stomach, but that morning was a bit
different.

Try drinking a glass of juice (non citrus) instead of coffee. I ride all
the time on an empty stomach, with no problems. But a stomach with a cup of
coffee is bad for me... The coffee gets refunded real fast, so I don't do it
anymore.

done it a couple of times now, and have not had a very good experience
with it. This morning I had time. I got up made a cup of coffee,
checked email and such, and the weather wasn't perfect but not raining
and not to chilly. So I headed out for a /fast/ ride. I have a route
that is not too long, long enough where I can get a decent workout. Its
about 12 miles and I can usually average 15.5 mph or so. Today managed
16.0 mph but when I got home my stomach was not liking the ride, or more
correctly stated not like the ride on an empty stomach.

OJ certainly provides more carbs if not eating a bagel!
